    Book Trailer Premiere: Martina and Chrissie by Phil Bildner, ill. Brett Helquist

    Betsy Bird, March 5, 2017 | Videos

    When I was a kid I didn’t know much about sports. I knew that the Tigers had won the World Series in ’84. I knew that there was a football player called “Refrigerator” and that sometimes football players took ballet classes (Mr. Rogers taught me that one).  And I knew who Martina Navratilova and Chris […]

    Video Sunday: Sure hope you like music . . .

    Betsy Bird, January 29, 2017 | Videos

    The news, man. It’s overwhelming. I look on my Facebook and my Twitter and it’s all I can see. The days when I could stroll along in blissful ignorance are long gone. This past week was particularly bad so . . . let’s watch Chance the Rapper sing the Arthur theme song with Ziggy Marley, […]

    Book Trailer Premier: Green Pants by Kenneth Kraegel

    Betsy Bird, January 8, 2017 | Videos

    Video Sunday bounces back with a beautiful book trailer.  But first, a little book trailer 101. When making a book trailer for your third picture book (in this particular case Mr. Kenneth Kraegel was the understated soul behind King Arthur’s Very Great Grandson and The Song of Delphine) you have to consider what kind of […]

    Video Sunday: Yesss! Boyz II Men Inclusion Accomplished!

    Betsy Bird, November 27, 2016 | Videos

    Morning folks. I’ll start today with a video that contains some classy tunes. It’s my recent interview with Eric Rohmann about his new book GIANT SQUID. Delicious delicious giant squids. Sorry. This interview occurred on a day when I was half hoping the staff recording the interview would have a big steaming plate of calamari […]

    Video Sunday: One Earworm to Rule Them All

    Betsy Bird, October 16, 2016 | Videos

    I usually begin with a video of myself whenever I’ve a chance, but this week I’m preempting my own face because this video is the coolest thing ever.  By the time I left New York Public Library its Rose Reading Room had already been closed for half a year.  Now you get to see the […]

    Video Sunday: *knock knock* Land shark

    Betsy Bird, October 2, 2016 | Videos

    Good morning, my fine and frisky young denizens of this sphere upon which we make our homes.  I’m particularly chipper today as I’ve just returned from a lovely trip to Boston where I attended the Boston Globe-Horn Book Awards and managed NOT to lose my glasses in the process.  More on that tomorrow, but today […]

    Video Sunday: Have a think in your head

    Betsy Bird, September 11, 2016 | Videos

    I do not know where Monica Edinger found our first video today.  All I know is that she discovered a video that is absolutely the most interesting thing you’ll see all week.  It’s a young Maurice Sendak.  He’d recently won the Caldecott for Where the Wild Things Are.  I’ve never seen anything like this before.  […]

    Video Sunday: And Stuff Like That

    Betsy Bird, August 28, 2016 | Videos

    Good morning! We’ve not done a Video Sunday here on Fuse8 in a while, so let’s start with the ritualized boiling of the blood. Which is to say, can picture books be written in an hour? No. But Slate decided to go on and and prove as much. The results: More interesting, in a way, […]

    Video Sunday: Be Kind to Your Web-Footed Friends

    Betsy Bird, July 3, 2016 | Videos

    Aww. Didja miss these? It’s not like I see as many videos these days, y’know. Not for lack of interest. They just don’t float in front my nose the way they used to. Fortunately there are a couple that I’ve collected in my travels and I’m featuring them here today. They may be a bit […]

    Video Sunday: The Other Man in Purple

    Betsy Bird, April 24, 2016 | Videos

    So many good videos to choose from today!  First and foremost, I begin with a very special message from Jon Scieszka.  It seems you still have two days to vote in the Children’s Book Choice Awards and . . . well . . . Jon would really like your kids to do so.  Seriously. I […]
